Kalmar has been making equipment that is particularly adapted to the handling of empty containers for many years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays operating and functioning all over the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling equipment. There are different units in order to meet customer's performance, and lifting height requirements. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, providing optimum balance of economy.
In order for money to be earned and a task to be done successfully, the containers need to be stacked and moved quickly, efficiently and safely. Other than driving safe and fast, the stacking must be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job that requires precise positioning.
These equipment are often placed in tough working environment with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, in addition to strain on the abilities in the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and people working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking equipment, the main characteristics consist of their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These equipment feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on many Kalmar machines throughout the world. Several of the key factors to take into account when thinking about single stacking machinery are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
An important step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation could be an extremely demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 unit that was specially designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational efficiency which tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, engineered and designed numerous models of forklift trucks.
